Nice smooth,comfortable ride,very quick, good on gas too, I get about 225 miles on a full tank. 6435 Miles,almost never really used usually just taken to work and back,about 20 miles to and from on really nice days never in the rain or snow .

My camera doesn't work anymore. Had a picture in my garage when I first joined the site but took it off since and replaced it with the crown vic.

I'm not surprised on how hard it is to find them. They were only sold for the last couple of years. The original plan was that they would be a limited time deal anyways. Since they are they should be in huge demand as collectors items as the years go by. Not to mention they are gorgeous looking cars and fast as :q:q:q:q for a 4200lb car. :steering

 

[MrScalia]

Nice power to lbs. close to the marks

Mark VIII 13.2 lbs to 1 Hp

Who needs to be fast when you just look plain bad-a$$ with a T/C, right?

 

[Dern Humpus]

Theres a guy in town with a procharger at 15psi, ran 12.9 with traction issues. He should be deep into the 11's with a 3500 stall converter, slicks and a small shot of nitrous. He is still on stock internals also.

 

[formerknown]

Dey ahhh beautiful! I wanted one, but at the time they were still close to $38,000!
